RE: [ILUG-BOM] ulimit query

hi u need to add the `ulimit' commands to the /etc/profile file to set system wide ulimit resources. u should also add the equivalent `limit' commands in /etc/csh.login for tcsh/csh users. Alternatively, explore PAM and /etc/security/limits.conf. Hope the info gets u started Fart

For a minute there, I wasn't sure whether you had got the hang of the thread - it took a while to realise you were talking about lzip! :-) SameerDS. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [ILUG-BOM] vpn setup

Hi if you look at this error it seems there r 2 errors one is of port and second is of dhcp could not assign ip address to client so what you need to do is 1> have you given any ip address pool or you are using DHCP server then look in to configuration of poptop and see where you have to mention ip address pool or dhcp. 2> by default when you enable vpn, ports are open by default if this is the case then your installation is not proper . this is only wild guess i am not sure because you have not given full info. if you need to open ports manuly then edit service file and key in ports number i am not sure about this. i will try to find this if i will get it i will mail you >From: premstud(a)vsnl.com >Reply-To: linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in >To: linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in >Subject: [ILUG-BOM] vpn setup >Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 07:28:17 +0530 (IST) > > >hello friends > >I am trying to setup a vpn on linux using poptop >http://poptop.lineo.com/download_pptp.html > >The server installed and started fine, but when i try >to connect a client to it, i get an error message saying that >there are no free ports or ip's to be given to the client >And it justs gives this error and doesnt accept client connections. > >any help would be appreciated. > >Thanking You, >Prem D'Souza. >_______________________________________________ >Richard Stallman's Public Lecture 5pm 17th July, at TIFR. >Linuxers mailing list >Linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in >http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Compression basically reduces redundancies in data. Some file formats are already in compressed form. Like JPEG, MP3 etc. An MP3 file is just a compressed WAV file. So compressing these file formats won't give you very high compression ratio, since most of the redundancies have already been eliminated. Try saving a (fairly large) BMP as a JPEG file. Notice the reduction in size, which is a result of compression. If, interested in compression techniques, you'll find loads of reading material on the Net. If you know someone from the engineering fraternity, try getting hold of books like 'Computer Networks' by Tanenbaum, or 'Principles of Comm. Systems' by Taub & Schilling. Look for Information Theory in the latter. These are the books I came accross. There are many more.

re : cvs

reference : I have a stupid question to ask. What is this CVS thing ? answer : I hope i am right when i refer to cvs as this but this is what seems likely CVS is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system. CVS is useful for everyone from individual developers to large, distributed teams. Its client-server access method lets developers access the latest code from anywhere there's an Internet connection Its unreserved check-out model to version control avoids artificial conflicts common with the exclusive check-out model. Its client tools are available on most platforms anything else is available on http://cvshome.org/ Regards, Triptpal Singh There is no chance, no fate, no destiny that can circumvent, or hinder, or control a firm resolve of a determined soul. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
